Coil

Live at Feelee

Tochka, Moscow, Russia

September 26, 2002

Feeling: Reflective

Surprise video, recorded, transferred, and shared with us by Александр Захаров (Alexander Zakharov)! This VHS tape footage runs for about three hours and consists of four bands:

Theodor Bastard

Moon Far Away (Concert Dedicated to Bulldozer Magazine)

Coil

Legendary Pink Dots (Live in SPB Red Club)

Coil's set begins at 46:26. He had to sneak in the VHS camera and shoot the gig carefully to avoid detection, explaining some obscured cinematography at points.

Surfaced September 3, 2021. The VHS tape this was transferred from must have been slightly damaged or deteriorated, as there are some cuts and glitches to static throughout. Occasionally, the audio cuts entirely, most notably in the middle of "The Last Rites of Spring" lasting until the last three minutes of "Are You Shivering?" "I Am Angie Bowie (Sine Waves)" and "Ostia" cut in, while "An Unearthly Red" cuts in and has a big internal cut.

1. I Am Angie Bowie (Sine Waves)

2. The Last Rites of Spring

3. Are You Shivering?

4. Amethyst Deceivers (Version 3)

5. A Warning from the Sun

6. Lake View

7. Ostia

8. I Don’t Want to Be the One

9. Bang Bang (Sonny Bono Cover)

10. An Unearthly Red

"Live Four" phase.

On August 14th 2002, Brainwashed reported: “Russian promoters and record label Feelee will be welcoming Coil back to their country for two concerts this autumn. The shows will be taking place in Moscow (Sept 26th at DK Gorbunova) and Kaliningrad (Sept 29th at a venue t.b.a.). Opening both shows will be CoH.”

In 2009, Zvuki published a “declaration of intent” Coil sent Feelee regarding the upcoming 2002-09-26 Tochka show, to be shared with fans. Roughly translated: “This next Coil appearance will be more lyrical, poetic, and more mindful than our previous ones, featuring brand new Coil songs as well as classics such as ‘Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)’ and ‘Are You Shivering?’ The past year has been a year of change and revolution for us, for our friends and for the entire planet. Our upcoming concerts will be our response to the dangerous and frightening state of the world today. Our concerts are a fragile, magically directed display of our anger: we will use a synchronized combination of video and music, which is our poetic response to personal pain and more general woe, in the hope of generating and inspiring a positive response to the situation around us. In addition, we will, for the first time, be presenting songs from our new album The World Ended A Long Time Ago. As always, we look forward to seeing the wonderful Russian people.”

John was surprisingly talkative, here, interacting with the audience a lot.
